- Airbag housed within the steering wheel
- Deploys during a moderate to severe collision
- Cannot be repaired and must be replaced
The Steering Wheel Air Bag on your Nissan is one of the main airbags in modern passenger vehicles. The Steering Wheel Air Bag is housed in the center console of the steering wheel and is made to inflate if the vehicle is in a collision to keep the driver from coming in contact with the steering wheel or dashboard.
The Steering Wheel Air Bag on your vehicle is designed to inflate in the event of a moderate to severe collision, typically the equivalent of the vehicle hitting a solid barrier at around 10–12 miles per hour. While your Nissan's Steering Wheel Air Bag typically will not deploy outside of an impact or collision, it may inflate from other strenuous circumstances like driving over a speed bump too quickly, hitting a deep pothole, or something similar.
If your Steering Wheel Air Bag has been deployed, it is unable to be repaired and you must have it replaced. If your Steering Wheel Air Bag needs to be replaced, it is imperative that you replace it with a genuine OEM replacement Steering Wheel Air Bag to ensure it inflates properly in the case of another impact or collision. Choosing to install a non-OEM Steering Wheel Air Bag can potentially cause the airbag to have issues deploying, causing risk of serious injury. If you have to replace your Steering Wheel Air Bag, it's best to order a genuine OEM replacement from Nissan Parts to guarantee it will fit your vehicle.
